I’d call it an average offer, not great but not bad
How bad do you want out of PA?

I think not enough

I’m getting a 95K offer plus 5K signing bonus as an S1 in MCOL rn for a cushy industry position. So this seems low to me for HCOL but that’s just my 2 cents.

like

Bonus is low, unless you’re in the back office. You should at least have a target bonus around $25k. Unless this is a low tier firm.

like

It is low tier and this is performance bonus at the end of the year

Seems low for a PE associate? I make that much in B4 M&A advisory as a S1 in MCOL

like

Not great but wouldn’t say it’s bad either. What’s the long term potential of this role? Any room for growth? Front or back office role?

like

Personally I wouldn’t leave B4 for that but it also depends on your interest and goals. If it gets you closer to that, then go for it

My two cents here - also S1 with CPA, getting 100k base, 15k sign-on, and 15-20k performance bonus

like

Great. What type of the company?

Is this a front office role? Isn’t PE a really good and rare exit? Who cares about the money

I’ve just received a great offer that’s a significant step up in salary and firm brand name, have signed the contract, completing onboarding and background check, yet I can’t shake the fear that my offer will be rescinded for some reason.

Received an offer from a top FAANG for a 250% increase in TC. However, I was initially interviewing for a position that was remote and yet the final offer does not provide that option, non-negotiable. I have a wife and 2-year-old child and another one due in 7 months, and currently live near both sets of grandparents.

Is working at a top FAANG really worth that kind of cost? I'm leaning heavily 'no' but it's not making it easy to sleep at night knowing I'm sitting on this kind of offer!
